Corsican citril finch (Carduelis corsicana)

I've seen these little beauties several times both in Sardina and in Corsica. They are quite localized but abundant in proper habitats: in Corsica in the 1400-1800 m. range they are sometimes the dominant species.
And, good for us, they are in general tame and curious enough to allow some good shots...

Thanks everybody for your comments..
Marian in this case light was even too much and too hard, anyway I've observed they tend to prefer scrub area rather than woodlands in Sardinia/Corsica
